Labor in Latin America:

Fighting an Uphill Battle

Workers across Latin America, like those in the United States, suffer from the effects of globalization and pro-business policies.

Come hear frontline reports about how workers in Latin America’s two largest countries, Mexico and Brazil, are faring today.
